It Is announced that President Akin will
< all a special meeting of the Board of Educa
tion for this evening for the purpose of electIng -
Ing a superintendent of schools for the ensu
ing year. This action Is Interpreted as a
left hand slap at the seven members of the
board , who met two nights last week without
getting a quorum and then adjourned until
tonight. It Is alleged by the majority that
a minority of the board has no power under
the rules to adjourn to a date specified and
that the adjourned meeting would therefore
be without warrant of law.
But In view of the fact that the minority
has adjourned to this evening and the ma
jority expects to call a special meeting for the
eame date , It Is considered a safe prediction
that there will be a full board present to
night and that the election will again be
taken up In earnest. What the result of the
deliberations will be Is a subject upon which
the opinions of the two factions differ ma
terially.
The Marble men have been working hard
to break Into the alignment of their op
ponents and they say their efforts will not
be without result.
On the other hand , tflere are well authen
ticated rumors that one or two of the men
who voted for Dr. Marble last Monday night
nre playing a double game. They want to give
the Impression that they are stanch support
ers of the present superintendent , while holdIng -
Ing themselves ready to Jump to the other
side as soon as their votes can make the
man. It Is expected that these members will
cast 'their ballots for Dr. Marble once more
and then desert him for the candidate upon
which the combine will have centered.
NOT AGREED ON THE MAN.
So far thcro Is nothing to Indicate that a
majority of the members has agreed upon
a man for whom It can present a united
front. The general Imprc lon seems to be
that they will vote for Superintendent Cooper
of Des Molnes tonight , but It Is said thai
there are at least two of them who will nol
vote for Cooper , thus leaving him short ol
enough to elect. It Is on this Inability of the
opposition to concentrate their forces that the
Marble men rely for success.
The closest Investigation falls to discover
exactly on what grounds the oppos'tlon to Mr
Marble Is based. A number of pretexts have
been advanced , but they are all of a genera
nature , and when pressed for explanations
the members shift from one to another with
out giving a plausible reason for their belief
Ono has said that Dr. Marble did not hive
sufficient cxecitlvo cbll ty. Another rema kcd
that the superintendent had been too busy
going around the state giving lectures to give
sufficient attention to the schools. Inquiry
showed that Dr. Marble had gone away to
speak Just three times during the year , out-
Bide of his vacation , and on those occasions
ho had gone on the advice of the pres'/lent '
anl other members of the board. Another
excuse Is the allegation tint the superintend
ent had not been radical enough In his hand
ling of the schools. He had followed In the
beaten paths Instead of taking off his coat
and making the chips Uy In a thorough re
organisation. This pretext Is treated with
contempt by Dr. Marble's friends , who con
tend that It would bo the worst sort of pollc >
for a new man to come in and overturn the
school system beforehe had hid sufficient
opportunity to become thoroughly acquainted
with Its conditions and necessities.
It was stated yesterday by one of the
members who oppose Dr. Marble that the
oppohltlon was not so much an attack on
Marble ns a bopm In the Interests of an
other man. Just who this other man Is
does not appear. It Is even stated that sev
eral members of the combine so far are In
Ignorance of the plans of their leaders. It
is admitted that the members who have
voted against Dr. Marble entered Into an
Ironclad agreement that they would not vote
for him for re-election. It Is now asserted
that this agreement was secured In the In
terests of a dark liorso and advantage was
taken of the fact that two or three members
were known to bo opposed to Marble to In
duce them to serve as catspaws In the affair
without being let Into the real designs of
those engineering the deal.
ORIGIN OF THE WARFARE.
It Is well knoun that there have been de
cided differences of opinion between Dr.
Marble and various members of the board
on several occasions. One of these cases
which was commented on to some extent at
the time was the squabble over the prlncl-
palshlp of the Druid Hill school. The prin
cipal , Mrs Reed , was seriously 111 , and Su
perintendent Marble assigned Mary L. Kidder -
der as her substitute. Before long Mrs.
Reed's friends said that the substitute was
trying to make her position permanent and
freeze out Mrs. Reed , and their story was
brought to Messrs. Cramblett , Anderson ,
Knodell and other members of the board.
At this tlmo Mrs. Reed demanded to bs
again assigned to work , but Dr. Marble
refused to do so , because she was still far
from being recovered. He carried his polnl
against the remonstrances of one or two
members of the committee , who are said to
have taken considerable umbrage on thai
account.
Mr. Cramblett's opposition to the superin
tendent Is said to have some connection
with the disinclination of the latter to as
sume that teachers who belonged to the
First Christian church were better qualified
for promotion than those who worshipped
elsewhere. Rev. Cramblett's partiality for
members of his own church has been a mat
ter of general comment among members of
the board. It Is said that Rev. Cramblett
on one occasion admitted his predilection In
this respect , but explained it by remarking
that he did not favor these teachers because
they attended his church , but because he
was better acquainted with them than with
others. The fact Is In evidence that Dr.
Marble happened to be acquainted with
several other teachers who did not attend
Rev. Cramblctt's church and that he snme-
tlmes Insisted In giving them fair play In
the distribution of favors.
In addition to these cases It Is well known
that the report of the teachers' committee
recommending a list of principals and teach
ers for the coming year , was not agreed on
until after a long and bitter fight In the
committee room. It Is said that the posi
tion which the
superintendent took on sev
eral matters which cume up at those ses
sions was strongly opposed by certain members -
bers of the committee and that from this
arose the first neuclus of the present combi
nation.

A New Program for Organized Labor
The Indications point to an Improvement In
the policy of the labor leaders. They ore
learning wisdom , as we all learn It , by hard
knocks. The experience of last year but em
phasizes the lesson of former years that the
Anglo-Saxon people , while always lending an
earnest ear to reform , arc sternly and unmis
takably against riot. Whenever you try to
force an English community to do anything
you simply arouse the Teutonic lion within It.
The election of Mr. John Burns to Parlia
ment last week was received with proper
demonstrations of joy ; for this man stands
for labor unions , working by lawful means
to win the favorable sentiment of the country.
To giln his point he organized a parade that
the public might sec the number of those who
were wronged , Instead of organizing a strike.
Patrick McBrjde , ! > pcretary of the United
Miners of America , has been preaching com
mon sense among the armed strikers of West
Virginia. It Is significant and hopeful that
It was the governor of that state who Invited
this officer of confederated labor to assist him
In dealing with the disturbed condition of his
commonwealth.
Labor will never succeed In Its Just de
mands until It recognl/es wherein lies Its
strength. It lies not In force. "They that
take the sword shall perish by the sword. "
There Is no good reason why labor should
not have anything it want" . It contains more
brains than capital. Almost the entire pro
fessional class belongs to Its ranks. It has
more numbers than capital ; cm outvote It by
millions. It has more moral strength than
capital , for every rellgldus conviction of our
civilization pleads In Its favor. Now , why
should any class that thus has the Intellect
ual , numerical and ethical advantage foolishly
throw It away for tha self-destructive
methods of force ?
Intellectual , numerical and moral , but the
greatest of these Is moral. Above all things
the workingmen should Identify themselves
with the religious Ideals of the race. They
make a mistake when they dally 'with ma
terialistic or agnostic allies. All the wrongs
of labor have sprung from the doctrine of
selfishness and egotism that Is the kernel
of every phase of Infidelity. All the real and
permanent good that labor has won has been
the result of the working of the altruistic
lmpul es of the people. And these Impulses
have no other source comparable to the Chris
tian religion.
Workingmen ! why not capture the
churches ? The Christ they preach Is the
great Altruist. He dominates the convictions
of mankind today. You might have Him
and every organization In Ills name If you
would take them. The statement that
churches do not want the laborer Is a man of
straw. Test It. Select one church In this
city , flll It with your numbers and you will
find you have done that church more good
than ten millionaires. Even upon the lowest
ground , financial , the church would welcome
you. For her strength lies not In the gift of
millions from one. but In the gift of one from
a million. For , without departing from the
principles of Christ , can she ever teach any
thing else than the value of life above prop
erty , freedom of thought , liberty of con
science , the curse of Idleness , Indifference
and greed , the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man ? Doubtless her faults
are as numerable as her frail human mem
bers , but her heart IB a deep well of Just
those Ideals and hopes and sympathies that
alone can btlng you victory. And her heart
Is yours for the taking.
The City Campaign As It seems to be the
fashion In city politics Just now for every
one to organize a party for hlms = lf , the Pul
pit falls In line and hereby declares its plat
form , which Is , "Loyalty to Law. "
A campaign for government on business
principles Is all right after while. First of
all , wo must elect officials vvhij shall under
stand that they cannpt fuuper with laws.
All the recant trouble revealed in the city
treasury department arose from a notion that
It was "all right" to deflect a little from the
slHtute. All our rotten politics ; all our
trouble with gambling , prostitution and the
license law ; all our corrupt municipal CUB-
toms , are hatched from this one egg , I. e ,
laws are to be enforced at the discretion of
the officer. What wo need In Omaha office
holders Is not so much business sense , or
independence of clique or party , or ability ,
as plain , every day bone&ty. We want men
who will do what they arc elected to do.
The Pulpit 1ms sold a good bit on this
theme , and , for the benefit of those who
may think It a monomaniac , begs leave to
subjoin some satements from quite respect
able authorities , showing thit It Is not alone
In this Idei. Th ° y have a police board In
New York City that Is trying to do what
they took oath they would try to do. Theo
dore Roosevelt Is prime' spirit In this board ,
and. In a recent interview with the New
York World , emmclate-d a few doctrines that
taste good. Here are some of them :
' 'I bad to choose between closing all the
saloons and violating my oath of office. 1
chose to close the saloons.
"The American people will not ultimately
sanction the systematic violation of law.
"I would rather see this administration
turned out for enforcing laws ihan see It
succeed by violating them.
"I am an executive , not a legislative-
cer. I indulge In no theorizing about the
performance of duty. "
The New York Tribune says editorially :
"That question Is not at all wheth r the
laws on this subject are necessary , desir
able or wise. It Is simply whether official's
appointed for the purpose of carrjlng laws
Into effect , and responsible for their enforc-
ment may , at their discretion , select from
the statutes such laws as they deem neces
sary and proper to enforc ? , and such as In
tnelr judgment may properly be considered
null and of no effect and bo contemptuously
disregarded. This Is what the contention of
various Individuals and organl/atlons , who
have talten up the agitation of the Sunday
law In opposition to It senforcement , resolves
Itself Into when subjected to the test of examination
aminationThere Is , of course , but
one answer to be made , and that Is that all
laws must be obeyed and none may.bo violated
lated with Impunity , and that neither the
mayor , nor any other official , can make any
discrimination In the matter without grossly
violating himself and inviting the censure
and contempt of all law-abiding citizens. "
The Chicago Record's editor speaks thus-
"James S. Clarkson , while In New York ,
has taken occasion to criticise Mr. R"ff-
velt. To Insure republican victory , Mr
Clarkson would have a republican execif'v
officer enforce existing law , or fa" ; o . n-
force It , as be found it expedient. L' ( tliei
words , he would have tint ifllcir arrogate
to himself legislative and Jmlljlil fun tl < n > .
It was by this couise that Timnnny ac
quired such despotic power. On this point
Mr. Roosevelt said some time ago'Dis
crimination In the enforcement of the ex
cise law has baen at the bottom of pollc--
blackmail and corruption. ' Mr. Roosevelt
is right and should receive the endorsement
of all good citizens. There can be no thor
ough reform In the government of American
cities until the executive anl legislative
branches are kept separate In fact as they
arc supposed to bo In theory. Discretion as
to the enforcement of law Is the stronfest
Instrument for coiruptlon in politics. "
Perhaps , by and by , we shall learn that
no so-called common sense or executive In
telligence can alter the eternal truth that
"honesty Is the best policy. " Perhaps , also ,
wo shall learn the way to ba freed from the
bondage of city clique * and rings and their
corruption , the way pointed out by the
wisest of men.
"The truth shall make you free. "

BURGLARS MAKE MANY CALLS
Reait'onta Disturbed by Prowling Bobbers
, Saturday and Sunday Nights.
VERY LITTLE OF VALUE IS STOLEN
Thieve ! Kvldently Amateur * and Thnrefore
Not Succetnful In Their htlorti Ad-
Tcntnro of n Notr I'ollconiun
nltli a Vigilant Ultliou.
On last Saturday night some amateurs In
the burglary line did a bit of rather slovenly
work In the residence part of the city just
west of the center. They succeeded In enter
ing two houses , but aroused the Inmates
before they got away with much property.
From the glimpses obtained of them , how
ever , they went out In full uniform , for they
were armed with masks and revolvers.
One of the hotisebreaklngs was nt the resi
dence of Joseph Goldsmith at 2095 Hartley
street. The burglars got In through a window
In the neighborhood of midnight. They man
aged to get together a gold watch , a purse
and several other trinkets before they awak
ened some of the occupants and made off.
At 10 o'clock presumably the same men
paid a visit to the residence of Rev. S. I ) .
McCormlck at 2214 Chicago street. They
managed to crawl In through an open win
dow after cutting the screens. They were
apparently frightened off before they had
made a complete tour of the house , because
only a pair of shoes were missing.
The same men , In all probability , were seen
by J. B. Evans at 11 o'clock. Mr. Evans
was on his way home and at the time wai Just
turning Into his yard at 2117 Webster street.
As he entered he saw two men leave the
shadow of the building and he noticed that
they were masked and carr.ed revolvers Th2 >
undoubtedly Intended to enter the house , but
did not return again after being thus dis
turbed.
THOUGHT THEY HAD HIM.
It was thought last night that at least one
of the burglars was captured. At 10 o'clock
a man named Ernsteln , who lives at 200C
California street , telephoned to the police
station that he had a man locked In his cel
lar. Two officers were sent to the house and
when they arrived Ernsteln told them that he
had heard a noise In the cellar and was sure
that he had a live burglar corraled. The
officers made a search of the premises , bu'
failed to find any burglar or any indication
that one had entered.
The portion of the city where these bur
glaries were committed Is dark and Is usually
closely watched by the police. There are
but few electric lights and what rays they
cast are cut off by the large number of trees
that surround the residences. These trees
furnish excellent shadow for burglars and
housebreakers In which to do their work
The district Is usually patroled every night
by a couple of officers In citizens' clothes In
addition to the regular policemen.
After the burglaries had been reported on
Saturday night Sergeant Cook and a squad
of men patroled the district , but failed to
turn up the would-be burglars , although they
did manage to scare a number of residents
who were on their way home. These resi
dents were stopped and had to give an ac
count of themselves before they were allowed
to go on. As the officers ) were all In citizens'
clothes they were InvarUbly taken for high
waymen , and In each case the residents made
frantic efforts to get away.
MISTAKE ALMOST SERIOUS.
One of the officer ? , who , by the way , was
one of those newly appointed , saw a man
walking along a dark street a block ahead of
him. lie went after him In such a hurry
that the citizen heard his footsteps an3
urged on by the vls'cns ' of burly and blood
thirsty highwaymen , which surged up before
his mlnd'a eye , he started on a hot foot down
the street with the officer behind him. The
minion of the low- gradually gained on the
civilian , and when the latter got on the
other side of an electric light on a street
corner and In the shadow he waited. When
the officer appeared in the circle of light lie
was excitedly told to halt if ho did not want
his anatomy punctured with hot pieces ct
lead. The officer halted and found himself in
a somewhat embarrassing position. He
showed his star , but that made no difference
to Mr.'Citizen , who thought that the officer
was a sure enongh highwayman , and had
knocked down iome burly bluecoat and had
stolen his star. Things were getting mighty
Interesting for the officer , because the man
was becoming more and more excited , and
might have taken a shot , when a policeman
In uniform happened along. The citizen was
convinced that he was all right and was not
a highwayman who had stolen a policeman's
clothes and let the first officer go with his
life.

South Omaha may yet have a postodlce
building. On the 20th of February last con
gress passed a law appropriating n sum of
money for the erection of n building In , the
Magic City. Excitement ran high for a time
and a banquet was arranged for Senator Man-
derson and Congressman Mercer. After the
banquet little , If anything , was heard about
the postofllce. Whether the spread had any
thing to do with the delay In the matter Is
not ktiovvn , but bo that as It may. Postmaster
McMillan has just recehed a letter from \V.
II. Fleming , acting chief executive officer of
the Tn-asuiy department , asking for certain
Information , which shows that the people In
Washington tllll remember that congress
ordered a public building erected In this town
Mr. Fleming wants to know- the postolllce re
ceipts ending June , 1SSI , and June , 1S94 , j
also the postmaster's opinion of the probable
Increase of business during the next ten
> ears , the number of persons employed at
the postolllce In 1SS1 and the number at the
present time. In order to give the govern
ment architect a notion of what Is wanted
here the department oks how many square
feet of lloor there arc In the present offlee
both In the lobby and behind the scre ° n , and
the estimated number of square feet needed
In the proposed new building to provide for
present business and the prospec
tive Increase. The number of post
olllce boxes In use at the present
time was Inquired Into , and McMillan was re
quested to make an estimate of the number
needed In the new building. The most Im
portant question , however , was about the cost
of suitable property. The department wants
to buy land as cheaply as It can and still pay
a fair price for what It gets.
Postmaster McMillan has prepared a care
ful answer to each and every question asked
by Mr. Fleming and will forward the same
In today's mall. _

Fairly jumped into success
Pearline. Right from the very start. Not
withstanding all these hundreds of years of
precedence behind that old-fashioned , backbreaking -
breaking way of washing with soap , too.
Now , why was it ? Why is it that hun
dreds of millions of pakages of Pearline
have been used in the few years since this
washing-compound was invented ? Just
B j do your washing and cleaning with
* J-Sb Pearline for a month , and you'll
see.
It takes away the rubbing , but with
out any risk of harm. That put- ; it
at the head of every known aid for
washing.
Is a Shoe Always a Shoe ?
[ That's the Question ]
Aa n whole tliu Iwllt'f of the majority mny be summon ui ) ns follows :
That a nlioo that Isn't of pure leather Is n poor biu-pilii at any
price erA
A shoe Is a shoe as IOIIK as the price Is cheap
There are just as many who believe In the latter as In the former ,
but which olio Is the most benefited In the end ?
Certainly the one who believes In the pure leather article. Our
prices are surely low , no doubt lower than any quoted In these
United States ( quality considering ) , however there are shoes sold
rl ht hero at lower prices , but what are they pied for ? And will
the seller jjlve a new pair free In ease of bad wear ? Positively not.
Hut we do. At any sta e If a shoe does not wear as It should , wear
out too fast , or for the slightest damage , for which a shoe Is respon
sible , come back and net a new pair free or your money back.
And we are the only concern In this glorious land who gunranteea
shoes to'thls extent.
lint why do we do It ?
Hecause we shape dealings between factory and ourselves , and our-
helves with you In an honorable way. Factory makes our shoes the
way we dictate , vlx : 1'nre lea ther uppers , pure leather In and out
soles , pure leather counters , st Itching and llndliigs.
A shoe like that Is bound to wear right , and we can conscientiously
warrant 'em. If , perchance , there Is something wrong somewhere the
manufacturer Is charged up with It.
A pair of our ? i.0 Calf Ooodyear welt will wear as long aa any man's
$1.00 shoe -Try It. H
